[Verse 1] Every man want to live, no man want to die Words I can't deny, to my life it does apply It was July and I was with my cutie pie On the way to the store, it was 2:35 I remember it clear, because that night (?) appear At a spot on (?), primetime It was me, my girl, under the moonlight shine Holding hands intertwined That's when I heard from behind a voice But nothing familiar to any face that I can place So suddenly calm feelings turned to haste It's time to motivate but I'm stepping without a weapon When anything can happen in just a second So now I'm checking behind the fine A suspect on a crime Only to see there were two, what it do? Grabbed the closest empty bottle of brew Told my girl run to my apartment get blue Cracked the bottle on the gate A block from my block because I see through, now I'm straight I feel one, ours now even so I now dear one He must've been short because he's seen his man book Which made the plan look, worse for him But yo he broke speed of university into the night Son didn't want it, and probably mad that he done it [Hook] Because the ways of the world are trife Everybody see the pie, wanna take a slice That's why I'm just trying to live my life That's why I'm just trying to live my life Because the ways of the world are trife Every chance you take is like the roll of the dice That's why you just gotta live your life That's why you just gotta live your life [Verse 2] Because these days are strange When small change adds up to a black range In the pity advance you acquire for your rap slang frontin' Your whole crew saying how you act strange stuntin' A million dollar man wearing wack frames something Doesn't add when your residence is your mom's pad But you steady claiming you the don here Shortie open (?) from the bar to the car You's a star Playboy whipping the double r Too busy talking about how you clocking that sh** on That you told (?) to roll the tree in the cigar She looking at you like word Cause in her mind, you a herb Get a room, (?) suites, do not disturb on the door You hit the pure once three times more You think woah, ain't never felt like this before But don't lose your composure because you a soldier At least that's what you told her As soon as you start hitting fell asleep on her shoulder Down for the count like Leon Spinks but out colder Shortie was slyer than the fox like motor Laced the L with the (?) sliced the (?) down your grill As a reminder you need to chill Plus she took the keys to your automobile Now she's whoopin (?) cha cha (?) [Hook] [Verse 3] Ayo, I don't really know, I think somebody said That surviving in the world can really mess with your head I don't know Still maintain the fighter though Make my move go high to low Like uneven divided dough When I was on the short end Like playing defense Michael Jordan My cypher shorten Only familia I'm supportin' Most important, family and business mix it up Until we tip the cup filled with success and sip it up Gotta grip the plush, spread it around, we headed to town Whipping up up puss, deluxe digital sound But not the bubble cuz everyday seem like the struggle Plus troubles double leaving you stuck with no rebu*tal Every move is subtle so the attack makes it harder to adapt Which is right behind your back The freaks come out crevice and cracks at night black Be wearing the ice pack from beef, it's like that Can't play the right track when the wrong is twice that That's backwards In this world, cream's the factor From chapters to crackers To computer hackers, slackers, rappers, backpackers, the rapture We're all up in it So much loot but who can spend it? That's why God comes first as it was intended [Hook]
